Du Hangyan watched as Chimu Jiu stood up for herself, a complex emotion surging within him. For the first time, he felt that this woman was not as fragile as he had thought. Previously, he had seen Chimu Jiu as a timid woman, a rogue with the heart of a thief but lacking the courage to act. Yet now, she stood her ground against everyone in the room.
Her determined gaze and unwavering stance gave Du Hangyan a fresh perspective on her. How could she be so brazen while keeping a man on the side? Since when did the rules of the Chimu family allow such audacity?
Ji Yuyan was equally unyielding, her voice filled with anger and jealousy, piercingly loud. She clung to the fact that Chimu Jiu was keeping a man, as if it were an undeniable truth.
"What’s wrong with keeping a man? Am I spending your money? Unlike you and your precious daughter, who sit at home waiting for everything to be handed to you, are you just bored and looking for someone to pick on?"
Chimu Jiu crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh, her eyes brimming with sarcasm. "Don’t lecture me about the Chimu family rules. I can accept punishment, but him? No one touches him!"
Her voice rose slightly as she fixed her gaze on Chifu Feng, showing no hint of fear—only a resolute determination to protect.
"Are you really going to defy me over this lowly man?"
Chifu Feng glared at Chimu Jiu, his eyes wide with fury, seemingly ready to burst into flames. The veins on his forehead bulged as his voice trembled with anger.
"Dear parent, what you say sounds so grand. What do you mean by 'lowly'? If it weren't for my mother supporting you, would you still sit comfortably in the position of head of the Chimu family? Ever since my mother passed away, have you ever truly cared about me? I will not become your pawn or merely a tool for the benefit of the Chimu family!"
Tears welled in Chimu Jiu's eyes, yet her voice remained unwavering. She stared directly at her kin, as if she were about to unleash all the grievances and dissatisfaction that had built up inside her.
"You!"
Chifu Feng trembled with rage, raising his hand to strike Chimu Jiu across the face. His hand was high in the air, fueled by his anger and authority.
But Chimu Jiu did not flinch; she stubbornly awaited the slap that would shatter her already precarious emotions. Just as his broad palm was about to land on her face, Du Hangyan seized Chifu Feng's hand.
"You?!"
Chi Feng was taken aback; he never expected this man would dare to intervene.
Anyone who wants to strike me must first ask for my permission. Since the head of the Chi family doesn't know how to cherish his own daughter, he shouldn't embarrass himself in front of so many people.
Du Hengyan's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority. His gaze was as cold as frost, and with a firm grip, he flung Chi Feng's hand back.
Chi Feng lost his balance and fell onto the sofa, astonished and humiliated.
Let me offer a piece of advice to the family head: the more eager you are for success, the more likely you are to end up with nothing.
Du Hengyan looked down at Chi Feng, his eyes sharp as a blade.
You understand what I mean.
Chi Feng felt a flicker of red flame in Du Hengyan's profound gaze. This man exuded an aura of pressure that seemed unbefitting of his status, overwhelming Chi Feng with a strong sense of oppression.
His posture was tall and straight like a pine tree, resembling an insurmountable mountain that shielded Chi Mu Jiu behind him.
The people around them were awed by Du Hengyan's presence, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.
